Skiing galore: welcome to Val Gardena’s skiing area, one of the most traditional in South Tyrol, boasting a diverse variety of slopes of different levels.
Every slope has its own history and we could go as far as saying that it is quite a special one: after all, they were the stage of the 1970 World Ski Championships and therefore, witness to an over 100-year-old skiing tradition in our Ladin valley in the Dolomites. What do they have in common? They are all well-groomed slopes and offer breathtaking views across the legendary Dolomites mountains.

The Sellaronda is a top-class ski circuit. Winter sports enthusiasts can expect magnificent views of the snow-covered peaks of the Dolomites, long descents on mostly intermediate slopes, and plenty of opportunities to stop at cozy mountain huts. When you add up the chairlift rides and the descents on the slopes, you cover more than 40 kilometers in about 4 hours. However, you can add as many lifts and slopes as you like. The ski circuit is signposted in both directions, but this tour follows the green markings and goes counterclockwise. The green route offers slightly easier slopes compared to the clockwise-running orange route, but both ski circuits are manageable for average skiers with sufficient stamina.
